That's a 1.6 GHz PowerPC 970 (G5) for the Google impaired.  



The Apple Power Macintosh G5/1.6, along with the Power Macintosh G5/1.8 and Power Macintosh G5 2.0 DP, is a member of the first Mac series to use the 64-bit PowerPC 970 (G5) processor, and consequently are arguably the first "desktop" computers to use 64-bit chips. In addition to higher clock speeds, the PowerPC 970 (G5) has a "new execution core that features massively parallel computation for an unprecedented 215 in-flight instructions", and the Power Macintosh G5 uses a new system architecture as well. Together this combination results in major speed gains compared to earlier Apple systems.

The Power Macintosh G5/1.6 features a 1.6 GHz PowerPC 970 (G5) processor with an optimized AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector processing unit, and 512k level 2 on-chip cache, and shipped configured with 256 MB of 333 MHz PC2700 DDR SDRAM, an 80.0 GB (7200 RPM) Serial ATA hard drive, a 4X DVD-R/CD-RW "SuperDrive", and a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra (AGP 8X Pro) video card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM. In addition to including FireWire "400" and "800", ADC, DVI, support for AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 1.1, the Power Macintosh G5 also introduces USB 2.0 (on the Mac) and optical digital audio in/out.

All 1.6GHz Powermac G5s are PowerMac 7,2s..

..but not all PowerMac 7,2s are 1.6GHz PowerMac G5s. ;)

http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=PowerMac7,2

(Also includes 1.8GHz PCIX, 2x1.8GHz PCIX, and 2x2GHz PCIX)

This extends support to include all G5 Powermacs except the dual/quad core models (PowerMac 11,2), and the single processor1.8GHz PCI model (PowerMac 9,1).

hmmm.. I installed the update on my Pegasos II and my Powerbook G4 and now they won't boot! I mean.. they boot but boot process freeze on both machines... Powerbook stops and shows grey screen with ambient screenbar at the top and Peg II stops booting before boot logo disappears... is anyone having the same issue?

Cheers,

Quoting myself... narrowed it down to poseidon.prefs in sys: prefs/env-archive/sys/poseidon.prefs ...removed it  from both machines and now they boot without issues... hope this info helps someone experiencing the same issue with this new MorphOS release.

I have seen this suggestion in several places but sadly it hasn't worked for me. But the Team is working on the problem and I'm not worried. Nothing is lost anyway.

The 7.2 Powermacs aren't superior to the already supported 7.3 powermacs, hence _this_ release didn't lead to a change on most powerful hardware for MorphOS.
And hardwarewise AROS supports more powerful machines anyway.

Nice to see this release and I will update my mini and Powerbook accordingly. Albeit some ppl reported issues with this update (boot screen stays gray and Ambient refuses to load). Take care when updating.

Worked fine for me, but thanks for the heads-up.
